2035 The Last Hunt

Year: 2035 Setting: The "New German Protectorate, " surrounded by the "Wall of Light." The past: The "Great War" was not a conventional war, but a short, brutal conflict involving biological and cybernetic weapons. It caused Europe's ecosystems to collapse. The outside world is a contaminated, radioactive wasteland ("The Gray"). The Wall of Light: An impenetrable barrier of overlapping laser fields, sensors, and drone swarms that seals Germany off from the rest of the continent.
Officially, it is a protective shield against the dangers outside. In reality, it is a prison. Society: Extremely hierarchical. A small elite ("The Architects") lives in well-supplied, clean sectors. The majority of the population ("The Mass") vegetates in dreary, overcrowded concrete blocks. Water and food resources are strictly rationed; access is controlled via "loyalty points." The manhunt: The ultimate entertainment and control tool.
Criminals, "dissidents, " and those selected by the elite are declared "hunted." They are hunted in designated hunting grounds (often abandoned neighborhoods or industrial sites). The hunters are volunteers from the "masses" or elite mercenaries. Those who capture or kill a "hunted" receive a life-changing reward: housing, water, food, status. The hunt is broadcast live throughout the protectorate and serves as a bloody bread-and-circuses circus to keep the population happy and compliant.
